Application filed March 6,1909. Serial No. 481,698.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, Goorninn LAUBE and HATTIE R. LAUBE, citizens of the United States of America, residing at Santa Monica, in the county of Los Angeles and State of California, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Paper-Holders for' Sticky Fly-Paper, of which the followmg is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawing.,

This invention relates to a paper holder for sticky fly paper, and is patterned after the holder shown in one of our companion applications, wherein'one tray. is inverted upon another.

The object of the present] invention is to use two trays, one inverted upon the other, and provide the uppermost tray with a large opening through which flies may pass to feed upon bait located upon a sheet of sticky fly paper placed on the lowermost tray. Toprevent persons from contacting 1 with the sticky fly paper, the large opening ofthe uppermost tray is provided with interwoven wires, which also prevent large objects from contacting with the sticky fly paper.

The invention will be presently described in detail and then particularly claimed.

Referring to the drawings :F igure 1 is a plan of the paper holder, Fig. 2 a side elevation of the same partly broken away and partly in section, and Fig. 3 is an end paper holder mounted upon a window-sill, the holder being partly broken away and partly in section.

The devlce comprising the subjectunatter of the present application embodying two superposed trays, the upper tray 2 being inverted, the rim thereof resting on the rim of the lower tray 1. The upper tray has the major portion thereof cut away, so that practically only frame of said upper tray remains. The nlarged opening 3 in the upper tray 2 has a shield or guard 4 thereover formed of transversely and longitudinally-extending interwoven wires, the ends of which are attached to the tray 2 adjacent the opening 3.

The holder is adapted to be supported uponia suitable base, or may be suspended from al suitable support if so desired. In the present illustration, we have shown the tray 1 as resting upon a window sill 10, lie-- in secured thereon by means of L-shaped members 8 which are carried by the tray 1,

,the manner shownin Fig. be engaged by the lower Window.

p The tray 2 is securely held in position upon the tray 1 by means of two wire frames Sand 6 respectively. Each frame is formed or" a single piece of wire, bent to provide two diverging arms, which pass through slots 2 in the edges of the tray 2' and through the rim of the tray 1, this connection forming a pivot on which the frames swing inwardly toward. each other, or outwardly from the tray 2. If the inner ends of the two frames are adapted to interlock each other as at 7, the inner ends constitute a hook 7 by which the holder can be suspended from a suitable support if desired. Each arm of each of theframes 5 and 6 is provided adjacent its pivoted end with a bend 6 forming a shoulder which engages against the tray 2 when the frames 5 and 6 are in interlocked position, thus firmly securing the tray 2 upo'n the tray 1.

A sheet of fly placed on the tray 1, the flies being attractedthereto either by the nature of the paper itself or by any substance placed thereon, ingress being had thereto through the shield 01' guard Having now described our invention what we ClaiDJ-QS new, isz- 1. A fly-pa per holder comprising two superposed tn ys, theupper one of which is inverted and is provided with an opening substantially equal in size to the area of the lower tray, a wire guard carried by the upper tray and lyingover the opening, and a pair of interlocking frames, each having a pair of arms, the free ends pivotally connected to the edges of the lower tray, each frame having shoulders sash rail 9 of a near their pivoted ends to engage the upper tray and hold the two trays assembled when the frames are interlocked. K 2. A fly paper holder comprising two suof which are I perposed trays, the upper one of which is inverted and provided in its side edges with notches, and has an opening substantially equal in size to the area of the bottom of the tray, a wire gt aard carried by the upper tray and lying oventhe opening, and a pair of interlocking frames, each comprising a pear of arms havlng interlocking connected ends,

the free ends of which arms extend through the notches in the upper tray and are pivotally connected to the edges of the lower tray, each arm having a downwardly-ex tending shouldermear its pivoted end to engage the upper tray and hold the two trays assembled when the frames are interlocked.

3. A paper holder comprising a tray having flanges, an inverted tray frame located upon said tray and having flanges engaging the t-rz1 y,a screen carried by said trey frame, I

and frames pivotally connected to thelongitudinal edges of said tray and adapted to be hooked together for holding said tray frame upon said tray. 15

In testimony whereof We affix our signatures in the presence of two witnesses.
